These are large, round, flat colanders called “Tame-zaru”.
Tamezaru is a flat colander used by soba (buckwheat noodle) shops to further drain off unnecessary water after the boiled soba or udon noodles are fried using a deep colander.
Some soba noodle shops, depending on the customer’s order, prepare each serving in portions and keep them separately drained.
The round and flat shape is useful for dried vegetables, fruits and dried plums.
This page introduces two sizes: 48cm (18.9″) and 51cm (20.08″) in diameter.
In addition to size, there are two types of rim wrapping. The upper photo shows the “rattan double-wrapped” type finished only with rattan. The lower photo shows the “rattan double-wrapped + copper wire wrapped” type.
There are four types in total, with two sizes of different diameters and different rim wraps used.
Both types are made of Madake bamboo and Hachiku bamboo from Sado Island, Nīgata Prefecture.When turned over, the weaving of the outer skin of the bamboo is spread out.This is a simple weaving technique with a close weaving.On Sado Island, the traditional division of labor system still functions, with some people doing only this weaving work.Due to its large size, it has several stainless steel wires for reinforcement.And the rim wrapping is often done by another person. The rim is wound with rattan using stainless steel wire as the core. The wire is coated with a rust-proof coating and does not rust easily.Sado Island colanders sometimes show blackened, charred marks like this. This is caused by the use of fire (burner, etc.) in the finishing process of splinters. Please note that this is not a defect.Also, cracks in the strips and cracks where the vertical and horizontal strips intersect, as shown here,ｙou may see some “splits” but they are fine.Also, there may be black streaks like this, but please be assured that these are production markings.This is a “rattan double-wrapped” type with a diameter of 48cm (18.9″).This is a “rattan double-wrapped” type with a diameter of approximately 51cm (20.08″).In this rattan double-wrapped type, rattan is wrapped around the rim from one direction without gaps. Depending on the size of the rattan, about 4 to 5 rattan long strips are wrapped around the rim, shifting the position to fill in the gaps. To make the rim stronger, rattan is rolled back from the opposite direction. This is why the term “double wrapped” is used.This is a “rattan double-wrapped + copper wire-wrapped” type with a diameter of 48cm (18.9″).This is a “rattan double-wrapped + copper wire-wrapped” type with a diameter of approximately 51cm (20.08″).It might be said that the rim is wrapped triple-wrapped. It is a very sturdy finish.
It is simple yet sturdy, and once you start using it, you will notice its lightness, ease of use, and durability.
However, since this colander has a rim core made of a wire, there is almost no fluctuation in the size of the colander. It can be said that this colander is made in accordance with the standard for commercial use.
How about draining Soba, Sōmen, Udon, Chinese noodles, etc. in this Tame-zaru for professional use? It is said that the more long-established soba restaurants consider this Tame-zaru to be important, as the wateriness of the noodles can spoil the flavor of the sauce.
In addition to noodles, it would also be good to stand by the ingredients for a hot pot here. For example, bulky Chinese cabbage or cabbage can be served in plentiful portions.
Some coffee roasters also require such a large colander. It is also good for taking the rough heat of roasted beans.
Rattan double-wrapped 48cm (18.9″) size with 2kg of green plums.
It can also be used for harvesting and drying plums and vegetables. In the photo, about 2 kg of green plums are shown, but both sizes can hold 2-3 kg of dried plums.
We show two sizes on this page, but if you need other sizes, please contact us. Please allow a little time for delivery. Please understand this in advance.
For professional work or for making dried fish at home. Choose your preferred size and type.
—Bamboo Crafts, Born and Departing from Sado Island—
According to records, Sado Island in Nīgata Prefecture has been shipping bamboo products off the island for more than 200 years. Bamboo products were actively made on the island because of the high quality of bamboo suitable for bamboo crafts.
In the old days, many bamboo products were carried on ships that sailed between Ōsaka and Hokkaidō on the Sea of Japan route.
Since thick bamboo does not grow in Hokkaidō, many of the bamboo colanders and baskets were made on Sado Island, the ship’s port of call.
The bamboo products made on that Sado Island are characterized by their simple design and durability. Many of them are for daily use, as if they were used in every Japanese household.
